Ambitious Impact interview questions

Long interview process (3-4 months) with 5 stages No compensation for work tasks High % of applicants cut at each step, including the last stage Overall very professional organization that cares about its mission Wonderful people working there But the application process is grueling

I recently went through the test task for the Director of Outreach position at AIM. It was informative and appropriately challenging for the level of the position. However, I had some difficulty with the initial interview format, as it was recorded. In my previous experience with AIM, I found speaking to a recorded video a bit intimidating. While I’m comfortable with recorded educational videos, the vlog-style interview is still new to me and I require a bit more practice. I would greatly appreciate it if the AIM recruitment team could accommodate a live virtual interview for the initial stage. This would not only help in making a good first impression from both the hirer and the applicant but also maintain the human touch that is crucial in the recruitment process. Live interviews allow interviewers to observe body language and facial expressions, and for interviewees to understand and respond to these cues effectively. Providing interview questions beforehand and having recorded interviewers ask them, followed by recorded responses from candidates, can diminish the impact of the first impression. A live interview ensures a more dynamic and interactive exchange, which is essential for building a strong candidate-company connection.
